1 BIAD ART CENTER 北京市建筑设计研究院艺术中心

　　由建筑师、空间艺术家朱小地主持创立的“北京市建筑设计研究院艺术中心”长期关注城市规划与建设过程中政府角色的转变与公众参与的可能性，因而将公共空间作为城市研究的重要对象，致力于通过公共空间的营造，在公共与个人之间建立起新的利益平衡，形成动态规划理论。在北京旧城保护与更新的领域，提出开发地下公共空间的设想，解决历史街区市政资源严重不足的现状，从而构建新型的、有机更新的模式。

　　Founded by architect and artist Zhu Xiaodi, the BIAD Art Center follows the change of the government's role in urban planning and development and the possibility of public participation. Mr. Zhu indicates that communal space is the key to balancing public and private welfare. To protect and update the old city of Beijing, he proposes to develop underground communal space, which provide an imperative urban infrastructure, and build a new organic updated model according to dynamic urban planning.

　　“民有化”——北京旧城文化复兴的起点

　　北京旧城保护应该从历史街区实体保护转向文化整体保护，不仅包括对街巷、院落和建筑的保护，更重要的是让老北京人有更多可能性，继续生存在原环境、并保持与外界的有序流动。这是维系和发展文化的必要条件。

　　现实情况是原住民，无论其居住房产属于直管公房、单位公房还是私有住房，都被现行拆迁政策引导到必须离开原住地的方向，以至于没有人关心住房的现状和未来。

　　因此，北京旧城亟待实现住房“民有化”，让原住民获得现住房，唤起其对自宅和环境的热爱，进而激发其参与城市更新的积极性，摆脱政府与拆迁户对立的局面。

　　“民有化”概念的提出，旨在明确原住民与房屋的产权关系，政府从过去的拆迁方转变为城市公共资源的提供者。这不仅实现了政府角色的正向转变，而且使原住民成为了决定自己未来的主人，在旧城更新过程中获益，并自主选择在城市中的生活方式。

　　“Privatization”/”Civic owned” – The start of cultural renaissance of Beijing old city

　　The main goal of historic preservation of Beijing old city should be shifted from historic sites restoration to overall culture inheritance. The preservation should not be only about reorganizing the urban fabrics and repairing traditional yards accordingly, but also providing more opportunities for local citizens. Encouraging the local citizens to stay in their original dwelling place and keep interacted with other new districts of the city is a necessary premise of cultural inheritance.

　　According to the related policies of refurbishment and demolition, no matter the property right of those historic yards belongs to government, companies or citizens, the residents there are encouraged to move out. Thus, no one cares about the conditions of these buildings, which leads local residents’ living condition into an embarrassing status.

　　Therefore, properties in Beijing old city need to be transformed into a new type – ‘Civic Owned’, urgently. This proposal allows local residents to obtain the property right of their own houses, arousing their enthusiasm to improve the living conditions and neighborhood environment. Furthermore, it also encourages people to participate in the urban refurbishment spontaneously, avoiding unnecessary conflicts between citizens and the government.

　　This proposal of ‘Civic Owned’ aims to guarantee that local residents have the ownership of their houses. The government turns into the provider of urban public resource instead of demolishing department. ‘Civic Owned’ helps government to play a positive role in the development of Beijing old city. In addition, local residents could become the decision makers of their own life. In the future, they will constantly obtain benefits from the development of old city and have opportunities to satisfy their own living preference.
